ORLANDO, FLORIDA – After an unexpected bye week, the UCF football team returns to action on Saturday, hosting Temple for Homecoming at 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU.

Head coach Scott Frost noted that the team responded well to having a few days off by showing enthusiasm at Monday’s practice.

“I felt like our team was on a roll a little bit, coming off of two road wins and having a game back at home,” Frost said Monday’s weekly press conference.

“I felt really good about our mojo. Now with a little bit of time off, we’ve got to re-capture that. We’re still going to play the same teams we were before, just in a little different order, so it shouldn’t change the outcome at the end. I felt really good about our momentum, and it’s up to us to attack this preparation this week to make sure that we continue that momentum.”

After almost a month away, the Knights return to Bright House Networks Stadium on Saturday.

For redshirt freshman Wyatt Miller, the team is eager for the Knights to take the field.
